4. If compound "B" is mixed with tert-butyl hypochlorite (compound "C" below) at low temperature, nothing much happens. But if the mixture is raised to a high enough temperature, a reaction begins which sustains itself over a period of time: CH 2 CH 2 CH 3 (CH 3 ) 3 C-O-Cl (CH 3 ) 3 C-O-H "B" "C" "D" + "E" + "F" + "G" Compound "D" (tert-butyl alcohol) is formed in high yield; "E", "F", and "G" are all
